Another one! 🚀

RT to congratulate @JHarden13 on his second Player of the Week award this season.

In four games last week, Harden averaged 36.3 points and 10 assists per game while shooting an astronomical 51.2 percent from three-point range. It’s the second time this season and 15th time in his career (a Rockets franchise record) that Harden has received Player of the Week honors. New York Knicks center Kristaps Porzingis was named Eastern Conference Player of the Week by the NBA.
